DJI Matrice 30 AVSS Parachute Weekly Rental
The AVSS PRS-M30 brings automatic parachute recovery to the DJI Matrice 30 and Matrice 30T, enabling public safety, inspection, and enterprise teams to operate over people and restricted areas with a certified flight termination and descent system.
- Sub-0.5-second automatic deployment: The energetic deployment system activates in under 500 milliseconds, giving the parachute enough altitude to fully inflate and slow the aircraft before ground contact.
- Zero-metre deployment option: The plug-and-play flight termination system can be configured to deploy at 0 metres, satisfying civil aviation authority requirements for operations over people.
- Installs without GPS interference: The attachment bracket is designed specifically for the M30 series and positions the parachute system clear of the aircraft's GPS modules, preserving navigation accuracy.
- ASTM F3322 and EASA MOC 2512 compliant: Includes documentation package relevant to civil aviation authorities, supporting regulatory approvals for beyond-visual-line-of-sight and over-people operations.
Overview and Who It's For
The PRS-M30 is a drone parachute recovery system designed specifically for the DJI Matrice 30 and Matrice 30T. It integrates via PSDK for both automatic and manual triggering, includes an autonomous triggering device, and ships with the documentation package required to support CAA, ASTM F3322, and EASA MOC 2512 compliance. The system uses energetic deployment technology for reliable sub-0.5-second activation.
Primary verticals:
- Public Safety - Search and rescue, emergency response, and law enforcement teams operating over populated areas where flight termination capability is required for regulatory approval or organisational policy.
- Civil and Power - Infrastructure inspection over roadways, railways, and populated corridors where over-people operations require certified parachute recovery documentation.
- Energy and Utilities - Pipeline and powerline inspection teams operating in controlled or restricted airspace where recovery system certification supports expanded operational approvals.
Also suited for: any enterprise operator using the DJI M30 or M30T who requires compliance documentation for BVLOS or over-people waivers.

FAQs
Does the PRS-M30 require a Transport Canada waiver to operate?
The parachute recovery system itself does not require a waiver, but the operational approvals you are seeking - such as over-people or BVLOS - may. The PRS-M30's ASTM F3322 and EASA MOC 2512 documentation is intended to support those approval applications. Contact Candrone's Solutions team for guidance specific to your operation.
Does installing the PRS-M30 affect the M30's payload capacity or flight time?
The system adds 284 grams to the aircraft. This will reduce available payload capacity and may affect flight time depending on your existing payload configuration. Review your aircraft's maximum take-off weight limits before installation.
Can the parachute be manually triggered by the pilot?
Yes. The PRS-M30 supports manual deployment through the PSDK interface, giving the pilot direct control over activation in addition to the autonomous triggering system.
Are replacement Parachute Pods available separately?
Yes. AVSS Parachute Pods are available as replacements. Contact Candrone for pricing and availability.
Is the PRS-M30 compatible with the M30T thermal variant?
Yes. The PRS-M30 is compatible with both the DJI Matrice 30 and the Matrice 30T.
